LNP used Slovakian road to claim Qld roads in disrepair

Geoff has been working for the QT since August 2011 covering Ipswich’s rural areas. He started working for APN in January 2010 with the Chinchilla News in western Queensland after growing up on a grain farm. Geoff spends his time out of work watching far too much sport following the Reds, the Broncos and various American teams.

But the Opposition Twitter account claimed the gaffe as a victory stating it had made the government address a topic it wanted to ignore.

"Hahaha - it took a simple picture to get @AnnastaciaMP to finally talk about regional roads #MissionAccomplished," the account tweeted.

The LNP has targeted the government's record on regional Queensland. Opposition Deputy Leader Deb Frecklington accused the government of spending money designated for regional areas in metropolitan locations.

"This is a government that has no idea where rural and regional Queensland is," she said.

"Yamanto - that is 35km from here - it is not regional Queensland.

"This is a government that has slashed the Royalties for Regions program - a program that was delivering projects like water treatment plants, like overtaking lanes, road projects, wooden bridge projects, projects that were keeping people in the regions in jobs."
